I first met Ron at DEMOFESTx West Coast in 2024, where we struck up a great conversation during the event’s Cocktail Hour, fitting, since he truly is a Friendly Human in Presales. We chatted about our shared backgrounds as Sales Engineers, swapped stories (and probably mentioned 80s music - the best music), and he told me about the book he was working on. I knew right away I had to check it out.
Listening to A Friendly Human in Presales was like getting a master class in what makes this role so rewarding. The ‘7 Timeless Behaviors’ Ron outlines really hit home - I’ve been practicing many of them instinctively, but hearing them named and explained gave me a fresh perspective. It helped me understand why this career has been such a great fit.
Big thanks to Ron for sharing these insights, and to Jack for the engaging narration. Highly recommend this for anyone in (or curious about) the world of Sales Engineering.
